## Summary

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is seeking to enhance the quality of life for disabled children through its procurement of a "Short Breaks Service for Disabled Children." This project falls under the category of Administrative social services and has a total contract value of £2,648,800. The tender process is currently complete, with the contract period set to span from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2021. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and while the tender period has ended as of 21st November 2016, the procurement status is marked as active, following an award made on 31st March 2017.

This tender represents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in social services, childcare, and disability support to contribute positively to their communities while potentially increasing their revenue streams. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations, particularly those experienced in delivering high-quality, inclusive services for disabled children, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. Collaboration with local authorities and potential partnerships can further enhance service offerings, facilitating greater community impact.

## Notice

The Government and the Authority want all children to have the best start in life and the on-going support that they and their families need to fulfill their potential and maximise their well-being. Children with a disability are less likely to achieve their potential in a range of areas as compared to their non-disabled peers. Improving their outcomes, allowing them to benefit from equality of opportunity and increasing their involvement and inclusion in society and mainstream services will reduce social inequality and allow communities to benefit from the contribution that disabled children and their families can make; harnessing their talent and fostering tolerance, diversity and difference. The Authority wants to work in partnership with children and young people; their parents and carers; the Authority's statutory and non-statutory partners and the provider market to deliver a higher volume of high quality, diverse and creative support for children with a disability. This will focus on delivering improved outcomes, improving the wellbeing of service users and providing a respite opportunity for carers.
